Glenn Hauser logs June 11-12, 2016

** ALGERIA [non]. 11985, June 12 at 0620, Qur`an at S9. During this
hour only it`s RTA via FRANCE. Aoki claims the language is French, but I
daresay it`s still in Arabic. It would be interesting if somestation
attempted to sing the Qur`an in translations, which are certainly
available, but presumably blasphemous to do that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 15120, June 11 at 0558, Chinese and
music, very poor S3-S5. I`m checking in case Nigeria should be active
here, as it`s missing from 7255- and 9690-. But VON is not even listed
at this hour on 15120 by Aoki; instead this is CRI Mandarin via Beijing
site. 15160, June 11 at 0558, another Chinese signal. Aoki shows this
one has been CRI Cantonese via Jinhua site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** FRANCE. 13725, Sat June 11 at 0603, RFI sole
English hour is S4-S6, too poor to stay with it as I had hoped for
`Sound Kitchen` at 0615 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

**
GREECE [and non]. 11645, Sun June 12 at 0615, no signal from VOG, nor
on 9420, apparently off now instead of Orthodox Sunday-morning chanting.
Maybe that was going before 0600; my previous check just after 0400
found 9420 was on the air with music. 11645 was also primarily occupied
as usual at 0552 check by R. Dabanga via VATICAN, still here ex-11650
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

**
OKLAHOMA. 104.9, June 11 at 2330 UT, open carrier/dead air, from KKWD
Bethany, until finally remodulates at 2333. Meanwhile the RDS is
funxioning into the DX-398, which says, in several different fields,
repeating but not scrolling:ALL THEHITSNOWWILD104-9It`s 6 kW, 100 meters from this west-side suburb of OKC. radio-locator.com shows its address is in Denver!

Which
reminds me, I`ve yet to hear my closest 104.9 just west of Enid in
Ringwood. It`s KEUC, and radio-locator.com says it ``operating under a
construxion permit`` yet ``is currently off the air``. 400 watts at 78
meters, and the CP expires Sept 27, 2016. Owned by Oklahoma Catholic
Broadcasting (Glenn Hasuer, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** SAUDI
ARABIA. 15380, June 11 at 0559, Qur`an. Aoki shows BSKSA has started
here at 0545, but CRI Beijing site is also listed, unheard despite
making it on 15120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
